AI Contract Overview

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is seeking to award a firm fixed price contract solely to small businesses for the procurement of Baron Weather Zero Balance NEXRAD Cables to support the National Weather Service’s National Logistics Support Center in Grandview, Missouri. This requirement is strictly branded to Baron Weather, Inc., and only authorized resellers of Baron Weather products are eligible to respond, as market research has confirmed no alternative cables can meet the critical technical specifications required for the WSR-88D severe weather radar system. These cables are essential for command, power, control, and data routing functions, and without them, the radar system would become inoperable, severely impacting the NWS’s ability to fulfill its Tri-Agency Agreement and provide necessary spare parts for maintenance and repair. Qualifying an alternative supplier is not feasible due to the extensive testing, labor, and funding required, making Baron Weather cables the only acceptable solution. All prospective contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and possess a valid Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) to be considered for award. The solicitation is a total small business set-aside under FAR 19.5, with responses due by July 30, 2026, and is identified by solicitation number 1305M226Q0202 under NAICS code 335929. Compliance with all items outlined in the Instructions to Offerors is mandatory; failure to address any of the first nine items will result in non-compliance and disqualification. The point of contact for this solicitation is Nikki Smith, and the award will be made to the responsible small business offering the best value, as determined in accordance with FAR 12.203(c)(2).

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) intends to award a Total Small Business set-aside, firm fixed price contract for BARON Weather Zero Balance NEXRAD Cables for the National Weather Service (NWS) National Logistics Support Center (NLSC) in Grandview, MO. The Government intends to make an award to the responsive responsible quoter providing the best value in accordance with FAR 12.203(c)(2).


This is a Brand Name requirement. Vendors must be an authorized reseller for Baron Weather, Inc.


Brand Name Justification


The Baron Weather cables are essential to the requirement and market research indicates similar products do not meet or cannot be modified to meet agency needs. Baron Services Cables compatibility are critical components for the function of the WSR-88D Severe Weather Radar. The cables are responsible for the command, power, control, and routing of critical data for equipment used to track severe weather patterns. Without the Baron Services cables, the National Weather Service (NWS) would be unable to
meet its Tri-Agency Agreement to provide internal and external stakeholders with spare parts for repair and replacement. During market research, RFQs were sent to mandatory sources and several manufacturers. NWS received one bid. The identified Baron Services cables are currently zero-balanced and are required to ensure the NEXRAD components and systems remain fully mission-capable. If this requirement is not solicited for the Baron Services Cables, the mission impact would be significant, as the radar system could become inoperable due to a lack of compatible repair parts. Due to the proprietary nature of the cables, all spare cables must meet NWS qualification standards. Baron Services cables meets these standards based on past performance. Qualifying an alternative source at this time is not feasible, as the necessary testing and acceptance process would require significant funding and labor resources from the NWS NEXRAD Retrofit Management Team. For these reasons, only the Baron Services cables are acceptable for this requirement.


DOC, Eastern Acquisition Division requires that all contractors doing business with this office be registered with the System for Award Management (SAM).

The Government has moved to a free new, non-proprietary identifier that will have to be requested in, and assigned by, the System for Award Management (SAM.gov).
